Moroccan Oil


My hair has never been straighter and it also has a nice silky feel!  This stuff also smells great too.  I bought mine at drugstore.com but I also just saw it at Harmon where you can also use your bed bath & beyond coupons for 20% off!!

They also have a whole line of other products that I am looking forward to trying.

Peasant Restaurant


A low-key and fabulous find in NoLita.  Fabulous martinis and homemade ricotta alongside the bread, mad a great accompaniament to the delectable pasta dishes.  A great meal was had by all.

Reservations are taken in advance!

Rice to Riches



I found such a little gem in NYC today.  It is a Rice Pudding Cafe called Rice to Riches.  It is located at 37 Spring Street in Nolita in NYC.  They had over 20 flavors + toppings.  I tried the coconut banana but ultimately went with the cinnamon raisin.  Yum, Yum Yum!  check out their website for overnight delivery too  rice to riches.com.

Popcorn Indiana Organic KettleCorn


This is amazing and addictive.  It has a great combo of sweet and salty flavoring.  It is about $4 a bag and is sold at Whole Foods, Bed Bath & Beyond (who knew?) and BJs.  DK and I can go through a bag a weekend!  It is also affiliated with Dale & Thomas popcorn.  Yum!

Baby Chi Hair Straightener


Great for home, travel or the gym bag.  This $60 chi is lightweight and easier to use than it's big sister.  Get it at Harmon Drug.

SIGG and Thermos bottles



We all know plastic bottles are bad for the environment so why not do your part to help. I walk around 24/7 with these water bottles in my office, at home and at the gym. We even subscribed to a monthly water cooler service so that my husband would stop using single serve bottles.

These Shoes Are Made for Walking thanks to Dr Scholls for her Products




I just returned from Italy and after 8-10 hours a day of walking around sightseeing I never could have made it without my Dr Scholls for her Products. I used 4 different products on this trip and i would recommend them all.

Dr Scholls for Her Sporti Insoles
Dr Scholls for Her 16 hour insoles
Dr Scholls for Her high heel inserts (I needed these in my 4" heels at the wedding)

Wallpaper City Guides & LUXE City Guides



If you like to travel like I do then you must pick up the Wallpaper City guide ($8.95) & LUXE city guide ($9.99) for wherever you are headed. They are both available at amazon.com and are available for most major cities. These are both design & style guides so expect the focus to be on the latest hip & happening hotspots in the city. They are not meant to be the source for tourist attractions. Pick up another travel guide for that! The focus is on restaurants, hotels, shopping & art. I don't leave home without them- especially since they easily fit in your purse or pocket.

TV Show- Royal Pains

Believe it or not my dad told me about this show and I am now addicted. It is such a guilty pleasure because it's about an up and coming doctor in NYC named Hank who loses his job in the city and ends up in the Hamptons with his brother Evan for memorial day weekend. But what the Hamptons brings for Hank is a new opportunity- a new career as a Doctor Concierge for the rich and famous. Each week brings a new medical emergency that Hank Med must solve. It's unrealistic, over the top and it's the Hamptons. It's one of my many guilty pleasures! It is on USA network.

My new True Religion Jordan Jeans


I saw these jeans on a Saks email blast and thought 'I had to have them'. It was a rainy Saturday morning and I bought a pair of True Religion Jordan boyfriend jeans. They were not cheap but I want to wear them every day! They can be worn with a great pair of heels or rolled up for a more casual look. They're now sold out at saks but Nordstrom has them on sale!

Mr Clean Magic Eraser Really is Magic!


Let me start out by say ing I don't have kids so I normally wouldn't know about a product like this. However, for anyone who has a house or an apartment, you need to know about this product.

We have beautifully painted white walls in our beach house but I noticed that they seemed very scuffed. Based on what I know I would have A- tried to wash the walls or B- hired a painter. I spoke to my neighbor who told me about these Mr Clean Magic Erasers and although I was skeptical, I figured they were worth a shot. A damp cloth was not doing the trick!

My husband brought two boxes home for me and I was daunted by them sitting on the counter for almost a week. Finally I decided 'what did I have to lose'. I grabbed one, dampened it and started to wipe. Just like the box said, they are truly magic. They worked so well on my white walls that I couldn't stop. The hall, the guest room, the master bedroom, the doors, the hall,...you get the picture. There was almost no stain that it didn't remove.

They were easy, fun to use, non-messy and overall, just a great product. If you have a house or apt, get them. If you have kids, get boxes of them! What a fantastic product!! Not sure what else they're good for so I would check out their website. www.mrclean.com (I just pulled it up and there's a coupon offer too!)

Until next time...
